Summary
Bobby looks back at his Dancing with the Stars run, how the virality around it seems to flare up every year, and what the show really meant to him then and now. He also talks through a recent Tom Bergeron clip that stirred everything back up, how it made him feel, and why it ultimately led to him mailing the mirrorball trophy back.
Then the conversation turns to country music history, as Bobby and Eddie break down a list of famous songs that somehow never hit No. 1 and why those misses still don’t make sense.

| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed human. |
| 0:10.9 | All right, welcome at episode 5-5-5 of the Bobbycast. |
| 0:14.8 | Coming up in a few minutes, we'll talk about big country songs that actually never were number |
| 0:19.6 | one, which is pretty crazy. |
| 0:21.1 | Eddie will join me for that. |
| 0:23.3 | I wanted to take a few minutes and talk about this week, especially all the dancing with |
| 0:26.7 | the star stuff that's happened, because I definitely didn't think that was going to go super |
| 0:30.5 | viral. |
| 0:31.1 | It's weird when something goes a bit viral because it's like a snowball. |
| 0:43.2 | I had made that video and a couple things. One, was on a crazy amount of pain medicine, which I have been. And you can see if you're watching on video, I'm in a full cast |
| 0:47.2 | because I'd have surgery on my ankle and it's been killing me. So I don't blame it on pain medicine |
| 0:52.3 | at all because I stand by everything I said. |
| 1:00.9 | But just so you know where I was at, like mentally, every year, about this time of the year, I would say mid-October to early November, there's always someone on that show, which there |
| 1:09.5 | should be who isn't the best dancer, |
| 1:11.6 | but that America like gets behind and roots for. Every year this happens and it's awesome and it's |
| 1:15.8 | really what that shows about. That shows, it wasn't made so the best dancer can win. It's made |
| 1:22.1 | so the best dancer mixed with the most likable person. Let's figure it out. It's like life. |
| 2:05.8 | Like in life, the person that's most qualified for the job doesn't always get the job. It's the person who's really qualified, but also the person who's hiring wants to hire because they want to be around them. You know, that's very much what life is about. It's about be somebody who people like. And then also can you do the job? Yeah. Can you get better at the job for sure? Like when I hire for positions, I don't always hire based on what the person can do right then, but one, do I like being around them? And then two, can they grow into that position, even in a way different than they probably think, or I think they can now. So around this time every single year, I just hit my social media and it is nonstop, |
| 2:11.3 | just people ripping into me for no reason other than I'd won that show years before. And I've pretty thick skin. |
| 2:14.3 | I have very thick skin because every day I say stuff and people kind of come in me and |
| 2:18.8 | DMs and comments, all good. |
